OK, I think this is not a (huge) bug .. looking at saned code, it tries to bind v6 and v4 sockets separately. If /proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only isn't set, binding v6 will also bind v4, making the later explicit v4 bind fail.
The second process is probably the one responsible for avahi advertisements. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sane-backends in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/656675 Title: Two saned processes and "bind failed: Address already in use" Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) i386 Whenever saned starts it ends up with two processes running and the following log entries: saned[1470]: bailing out, waiting for children... saned[1470]: bail_out: all children exited saned[4387]: saned (AF-indep+IPv6) from sane-backends 1.0.20 starting up saned[4387]: do_bindings: [0] bind failed: Address already in use saned[4388]: Now daemonized saned[4388]: Dropped privileges to uid 118 gid 122 This occurs with both Inetd and daemon configurations. When it's stopped I can see that no other saned processes are running but when started two always show up along with the error. This is mostly a cosmetic problem as network scanning through saned still functions.
